The Aletai meteorite is one of the world's largest known iron meteorites and is renowned for its spectacular Widmanstätten pattern. These beautiful interlocking crystal structures formed naturally as the molten iron-nickel core of its parent asteroid cooled at an incredibly slow rate—just a few degrees every million years. This unique pattern cannot be recreated on Earth, making every slice completely one of a kind.

This necklace showcases a genuine polished slice of Aletai meteorite, carefully mounted in a durable stainless steel setting that protects the edges while highlighting the natural crystalline structure. The meteorite has been sealed with a clear protective resin to preserve its appearance and help prevent oxidation, allowing you to enjoy its extraordinary beauty for years to come.

Suspended from a comfortable 50cm black rubber cord, this necklace combines modern design with one of nature's oldest materials. Whether you're fascinated by astronomy, geology, meteorites, or simply appreciate truly unique jewellery, this necklace is a wearable piece of cosmic history.

Carry a genuine piece of the universe wherever you go and own jewellery that tells a story billions of years in the making.
